Please let me know which of Artemis's powers you're willing to let her use on your character! "We would need to talk first" is also an acceptable answer, since Artemis's use of her abilities would be largely plot related. Please also note that it is established in the World of Darkness canon that her abilities can work on both humans and supernaturals alike.
Auspex
Heightened Senses: She can voluntarily heighten all five senses, or any one at a time. She'll often use this for eavesdropping or tracking someone down.
Aura Perception: Her eyes can allow her to look at a person's aura and learn the following bits of information:
-Creature type (human, vampire, werewolf, fae, etc.)
-Emotional state (happy, sad, uncomfortable, etc.)
-Diablerie (has your character destroyed another person's soul?)
-Influence (is there a supernatural influence on your character?)
Spirit's Touch: Artemis can touch an object to learn any of the following information about it: Who was the last person who touched it? Was it used in an emotionally stressful event? What were the emotions of the person using the object?
Telepathy: Artemis can communicate mentally with another person. It's only a one-way street, however. They cannot reply to her unless they too have telepathy.
Dementation
Passion: Artemis can make another person submissive or impatient for about ten minutes.
Eyes of Chaos: She can look at another person and learn what their intrinsic nature is (ie., Architect, Autocrat, Bon Vivant, Bravo, Caregiver, Celebrant, Child, Competitor, Conformist, Conniver, Curmudgeon, Deviant, Director, Fanatic, Gallant, Judge, Loner, Martyr, Masochist, Monster, Pedagogue, Penitent, Perfectionist, Rebel, Rogue, Survivor, Thrill-Seeker, Traditionalist, Trickster, Visionary).
Dominate
Command: She can issue a one-word command with a duration of less than 10 minutes. This command cannot be suicidal.
Obfuscate
Cloak of Shadows and Unseen Presence: She can become invisible if no one can see her and she doesn't interact with her environment.
True Faith
Artemis can weaponize her faith to drive away (at least 10 feet) any supernatural creatures that don't also have her faith.
Prophecy
Not entirely a vampiric ability, Artemis often receives prophetic flashes about other people. In game, she will use this to discuss another character's canon (both lived and upcoming). Since I don't want to use this to fourth-wall, I'm happy to take it on a case-by-case basis.
Feeding
Artemis requires blood every few nights. Here are the fun facts about Cainite feeding. Can I bite you?
-It feels reeeeeeeally good to the victim. Orgasmic good.
-Artemis will only take three pints, leaving the victim dizzy, but fine.
-Cainites can close the wounds caused by their teeth, simply by licking them. They leave no trace of the feeding.

Physical Presence
Artemis might be considered an attractive girl, if she ever bothered to give a thought to her appearance. Embraced at the age of twenty, she is frozen in time at the peak of her youth. Her complexion is perfect; pale as befitted a young woman of nobility during the 1700s. Her light skin offsets her dark, bottomless brown eyes. Artemis walks through her life with a perpetually haunted look, her eyes just a little bit too wide, most of the time. Her hair, wavy and brown, is generally tied back in a simple ponytail, as if she couldn’t be bothered with it. She stands at about five foot four and is a little too skinny, with very little in the way of curves.
When Artemis is feeding or enraged, what’s known as ‘the Beast’ comes out. The Beast is a vampire term for the supernatural parasite living in the human host. The change isn’t physical. Aside from the fact that her front incisors become fangs, nothing about her body is transformed. What changes is her presence. She goes from being a harmless waif to being an obvious predator. There’s simply something extra frightening about her that wasn’t there moments earlier. It goes away when she reverts back to her natural state.
There is something graceful and serpentine about the way Artemis moves. Being a supernatural predator, she has a light tread. This unnatural grace translates into her fighting style as well. She moves like water, one motion effortlessly flowing into the next. Often, her head is canted to one side and she sometimes forgets to blink. She uses all five of her heightened senses to her best advantage, which means she’ll touch anything of interest. Sniff it. Even lick it, if she thinks that will yield information. She does all of this very unapologetically.
In terms of dress, Artemis is most comfortable in what Fatima jokingly refers to as “the uniform.” She likes to wear dark jeans, a black tank top, and comfortable black boots with her ritual knife tucked into the right one. Obviously, she has more than one of each of these items, but they’re so identical that one could easily assume she wears the same thing every day. In addition to her basic outfit, Artemis wears her father’s old, tan duster. It’s made of suede leather and falls to her ankles. A dark brown ribbon weaves in and out, all along the neckline. Artemis is also never seen without her two necklaces. The first is a silver disk, with an emerald in the middle of it. Sun rays are etched into the surface of the disk and it hangs on a silver chain. This was a gift to her from her father. Both of her sisters wear matching necklaces. The other necklace she’s never seen without is her amulet of the Order of the Silver Crescent. It’s a heavy silver chain with a charm that’s half silver moon and half golden sun.
Artemis still speaks with a London accent. She can, with some effort, mask it with an American, west coast accent, but it’s unnatural to her and she generally just reverts. Her voice is whispery and ethereal. She also has a halfway decent singing voice. When she’s playing up her Malkavian insanity, she’ll often sing instead of speak.

V:TM Backstory
(CWs: Blood, violence, vampirism, mentions of rape)
Artemis York–-who would later become Artemis Seth-–was born in the year 1759 in Notting Hill, England. She was the third child of Adam York, a professor of ancient religions, and his wife Lilith York, a Parliament member's daughter. The family was surprisingly well off, Adam being from new money. Artemis was a completely unexpected surprise, born seven years after her sister Diana and thirteen years after her sister Selene. She quickly became the complete apple of Adam's eye.
From an early age, there was something "slightly off" about Artemis, however. Something that alienated her from her mother. She often reported strange dreams. Unlike other girls her age, she showed little interest in dolls and pretty dresses. At times, she would say completely erratic and unpredictable things. Although her mother sometimes scolded her for predicting that Diana would one day march against the military or that Selene would bathe in rivers of blood, Artemis persisted, insisting that she was only telling the truth. It would be many, many years before Artemis and her family realized that these childish utterances were actually prophetic.
